On the Day Run with tessellation enabled, the new GeForce GTX 560 Ti performed well, matching the GeForce GTX 470 and outpacing the GeForce GTX 460 by more than 30% overall. It also easily dispatched the Radeon HD 6870, especially when anti-aliasing was enabled. This was the same on the Sun Shafts run with tessellation enabled, as the GeForce GTX 560 Ti put in yet again an impressive performance, outpacing both the GeForce GTX 460 and its intended rival, the Radeon HD 6870, by about 40% overall. On the other hand, we noticed that the Radeons managed to close the gap slightly when we disabled tessellation and reverted to running the benchmark using DirectX 10. This is something we have noted in our reviews of previous Fermi cards and which evidently shows that the Fermi architecture is better suited for tackling DirectX 11 applications.

As for the two custom GeForce GTX 560 Ti cards from ASUS and Palit, they continued to be marginally quicker than the reference card and between the two, they also continued to rack up identical frame rates. Based on raw performance alone, it is impossible to distinguish the two cards.
